Dell 1905FP burn-in problems.

Question

I have a Dell UltraSharp 1905FP lcd monitor that is about 3 or 4 months old, and I've started noticing burn in when the screen is filled with neutral tones. And after closer inspection, simply playing a game for a couple of hours will burn in the UI graphics, and then when I set my desktop background to a neutral color, I can see where there's color problems. It's so pervasive, that in some cases I can even read the text that happened to be on the screen while I was playing the game. Is this a faulty monitor, or is this flat panel just low quality? I was sure that burn in problems were non-existant nowadays, and I need to know if I should RMA the monitor, or just switch back to using a CRT.

For instance, while I was typing the above message, the dell navigation bar at the top of the page managed to burn itself noticeably in to the monitor.

How long was what you were viewing displayed on the screen that was buned in?

It may be to late for this but you might want to lower the brightness of the display. They come from the factory way to bright IMO.

Charles Randall · Answer

My brightness is always turned down to zero.

I've had my 1905FP for about 6 months and haven't seen that problem. Do the images re-appear after the monitor has been switched off for a while and then turned on again? If so, it sounds like a fault in the display. Have you returned the settings to factory defaults on the OSD to see if that corrects the problem?

Charles Randall · Answer

Factory reset does nothing, and yes, some of the images persist after the lcd has been off for 8+ hours.
